To answer your original question, you can adjust the spacing below the header image by adding the following to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

#header figure {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

Adjust the "0" number to something like "15px" to add space back in if that removes too much.

It's a Blankan theme blog, and my boss wants me to move the header picture closer to the primary top menu, eliminating some white space at the top. How do I go about this/how do I even start?
